Axion Polymers launches new high-CV alternative fuels

UK-based Axion Polymers has added two new Axfuel High CV Polychip alternative fuels to its existing range of environmental solid recovered fuel (SRF) products.

According to the firm, its new product provides a consistent and sustainable energy solution with low-carbon impact.

Suitable for use in the cement industry and energy-from-waste sectors, Axfuel High CV Polychip Grades A and B are fully-processed, technically-separated and high CV fuels.

Their particle size distribution makes them ‘free flowing’ for use in bulk storage, handling and transport systems supplying main burner fuel infeed in cement kilns and other similar combustion plants, the firm said.

In a statement, the firm said: “Derived from end-of-life automotive and electrical waste resource streams, both grades have very low moisture, chlorine and ash content.

“They are manufactured as part of Axion’s large-scale materials recycling system, which uses a unique separation and sorting process to extract a quality-controlled alternative fuel for use in energy generation and other thermal processes.”

Axfuel High CV Polychip Grade A has a higher calorific value with similar energy content to powdered petcoke fuel, while Grade B has a greater mix of other combustible materials, such as wood and rubber, Axion said.  Both are available in large loads.

Axion Polymers director Keith Freegard said: “In line with our principles of treating alternative fuels from waste as products, we ensure that they are of consistently high quality to meet the technically- demanding specifications of our end markets.”
